I might still go back in January when Danny Burstein joins the cast, but Laura was the catalyst for all my excitement, so to be seeing her, I’m thrilled."
Congratulations!!

I actually think Rigg was gone when Lauren’s father would have passed away, because I remember there was about five days last month when Kerstin Anderson and Heather Botts both played Eliza, and by that time Rosemary Harris had stepped in. However, if Lauren was having health issues and Rigg still felt the need to make those comments it still doesn’t look good on her, IMO.

If Stephanie J. Block happens to be busy for a Next to Normal revival, can I throw Carmen Cusack's name in the mix? Also truly hope we get Hairspray back for some relevant escapist theater.
So happy for everyone involved! Here's to a long and healthy run for this beautiful show :)

Is there a chance of this getting a Live at Lincoln Center screening, even though it didn’t win Best Revival?
The fanbase may not regularly read the Times but somewhere like Playbill is going to post Brantley or Green absolutely hating it and they're going to flip.
Was the casting agency just throwing darts at a board to cast someone because they don't think Nicolette is going to sell?

Wasn’t there also a rumor she and Kelli O’Hara were automatically turned away at first because they looked too old? I’m confused where this sudden post of acting like she was one of the first choices but turned it down because of Ella.
